[SOLVED] What is a good speed for an nvme?

[Ibraimo]

Im planing on buying an nvme sdd but i like to know first, what is a good speed im seeing some like 2500mb write up.... soo tell what speed is good?...

Anything faster than 500mb/s read and/or write is faster than an sata ssd can provide so anything over that is probably best.

What is the rest of the system?
What do you use it for?
What is your budget?
What size do you need?

Buy a brand name NVME 3.0 drive and you'll typically see between 2500 and 3500mb read and slightly slower write speeds depending on controller type and cache size differences.

There's no reason to buy an NVME 4 drive unless you do a lot of large file transfers as SATA SSDs, NVME 3, and NVME 4 drives all provide a similar gaming and Windows experience for the end user.

what is a good speed

'what is a good speed' is different than 'what is a good drive'

You can absolutely find a janky drive that you don't want, but advertises 'uber speed'.

My questions above may lead to a "good drive"

Anything?
No.

For instance...
I wouldn't take one of these if someone gave it to me for free.

Hard to go wrong with Samsung's 970 EVO Plus (for PCI-e 3.0 or 4.0 mainboards, limited to 'only' 3500 MB/sec) or 980 Pro for PCI-e 4.0 mainboards and captivated by the brag-worthy CrystalDiskMark numbers and willing to blow some extra money!

Since we do not yet know the motherboard/budget/use....a 970 may be great, or it may be totally useless.

Brand wise look for samsung/wd/crucial you won't go too far wrong.

Don't spend extra for a pcie4 ssd if you have a pcie3 slot.

Perf wise don't be surprised if you see very little if any diff between a 2.5 ssd and a pcie ssd when running your stuff.

Any NVME over 480 Mbps is good but an NVME SSD should get at least 1500 Mbps imo. Also what you should be looking at is cache memory. Some have those. Some doesn't. Cache will make night and day difference

I was talking about speed because they asked about speed

Right.
And that is by far not the only consideration when choosing a device.

Never said it was, just saying that you get the advantage of nvme over sata when you get over 500mb/s read and write
